FirsttimeARE, thanks for this thread and updates. I have learned some valuable information for my own DWC grow. I am doing a closet grow with 4 plants...2 Barneys Farm Amnesia Lemon and two freebies that that came with it....La Musa by Delicious Seeds and Madness by World of Seeds.

Thanks for the continuous updates!

No problem man! I'm glad this thread could help you. Good luck on your grow!

Hey man, looking great! Sorry I haven't visited in a while, but I just finished up my grow and have been super busy the last week doing clean up and final trimming. I've been slacking on posting pics, I know, but I'll collect all the photos and sort through the ones I need and post em on here to show off and maybe pick up some advice for my next grow. I know I've learned a lot along the way from watching your thread and others like it. I should have definitely done a grow journal.. there's always next time i guess. Anyways, keep it up man.. I have confidence you will be pleased with your final product.

Its cool yo we all got our own thing to do. But you should get a journal going for yours so people can help you and give you advice and it helps you remember what youre doing in there.

Success at last! Only a month until you actually see some income from this hobby haha which one is your favorite smelling so far?

Nice plants man.. nice turn around and finish. Looks like your defoliating a little, stay in the closet of leave trimmers if you don't want the trolls attacking. LOL.

Peace.

firsttimeARE · May 28, 2012

Not too strong smelling unless im trimming leaves. But Bubba 76 and FCJ have the most powerful and they're the most frosty. Fingers get very sticky trimming those girls.

The vegging is going smoother. Luckily these two are very branchy as I need to practice cloning soon, will be using RW as I have a ton of it left still and am familiar with it until I build a cloner.

All the strains say 8-14 weeks, hopefully they're closer to 8. The Veneno probably longer. Do you give them just water before harvest?

Thanks BBC. Yeah I gotta, the FCJ and Veneno want to bush a lot. I just trimmed Veneno 2 days prior of the photos. The FCJ is needing another. I've never tried just leaving it going, so I cannot comment there, maybe i'll do a side by side on same cut.

Day 28:

Fruity Chronic Jizuice - Some pistils turning orange, so pretty looking.

Veneno

Bubba 76 - Trich monstah! Still growing vertically

Pineapple Express - Surprised this shot up so quickly, was atleast a third of the other plants size when it went into flower. Now its about that height.

Veg tent @ 79F/76%RH. I need better circulation in there for sure. That fan struggling to diffuse air thru any hole in that tent isn't doing it. Going to try and jury-rig duct elbows to intake air in to the ground level so it gets sucked up thru the plants up over the light and out the tent.

The Chronic Haze is growing like a champ. They both are, just ones mostly sativa, ones pure indica. Their roots are also very white for 75F water.

Bigz2277 · May 29, 2012

Frosty... ^_^

firsttimeARE · May 29, 2012

Hell yeah! And they're packing on a lot of weight quickly. Can see growth from last update 2 days ago. If trich production doesn't slow down its going to be covered. Yay. Wish it had a better smell. Still smelling planty/chlorophyll/fresh like. Looks to be a good yielder, that FCJ.

hornedfrog2000 · May 31, 2012

WOW hey man. Just saw your progress. Glad to see it's looking real nice for ya. I'm gonna go back a few pages and read how it's been going. Looks good.

hornedfrog2000 · May 31, 2012

Definite props to you bro. I know this hobby can frustrate the shit out of you, but you learn something every time you do it. I have dealt with so many issues now its crazy, but it gets easier. Here is some bud I just chopped like a couple weeks ago.

firsttimeARE · May 31, 2012

Sup horned

Thanks man! Yeah i'm past my point of frustration, most of the issues I had were underfeeding. Now that i'm giving more feed the plants are flourishing. All a learning experience like you said, and yeah it is getting easier.

Nice bud is that the kens gdp you had gotten?

dbkick · May 31, 2012

No it's grape god from next generation.

Thanks DB!

Looks good horned. If you still wanna try that fruity chronic juice from Delicious you should. Shes doing fantastic! Great strain. Did you run the kens gdp yet?

Day 31 flower:

FCJ is putting off some nice smells of fruit
Bubba 76 is getting some heat stress being so close to the light is making the leaf edges curl upwards. It's at least 8 inches taller than the rest so its the only one. But I raised the light up so hopefully that correct it.

Changed the buckets last night and pumped out my flood and drain reservoir that has just been a dumping station for the last 4 months, rofl. Sounds so fucked up when I put a timeframe to it. But the humidity was like 50% last night in the veg tent. Usually its good for up to 80%

I'm vegging it right now. I have 5 fems that will be flowered in the next month or so.

Day 34 flower:

Noticed seeds in the Bubba 76

Figured it'd happen, but oh well still looks like some DANK DANK! Shit yielder.

Fruity Chronic Juice @ 1.7EC

I'll get in there before lights on like I tried to today and get better shots of them all.

Day 39 veg:

Afghan Kush - World of Seeds

Chronic Haze - World of Seeds

Side by side to show how much larger the chronic haze is.

hornedfrog2000 · Jun 5, 2012

You positive they were seeds? It is a little early for that. Some big calyxes will look like seeds. Not saying you're a newb or nothing, just sometimes it can look like seeds. I broke a huge calyx open the other day thinking it was a bean.

hornedfrog2000 · Jun 5, 2012

That fruity chronic is gonna yield big. If you go 10 weeks maybe more with it I bet you get 5 zips. It is looking awesome man! keep it clean cuz them diseases, and bugs will come sooner or later.

firsttimeARE · Jun 5, 2012

Definitely beans. I pulled one out of a bud with tweezers. Some buds had 3 acorn like seed clusters. Before lights on today i'll try and get a good shot.

I did see what looked to be an exploded nanner and when I picked it up off the leaf it left this pollen like residue on my fingers.

Yeah she looks to be a big yielder, my guess was 3-4oz. Veneno that I have going has some bigger buds but they're more airy. I hope I don't get a bug or disease problem but it will probably come eventually. I just hope not the dreaded mites.

I've been using straight water&nutrients for the last 3-4 weeks no pathogen control. Plants in veg never saw but maybe a week of aquashield and they have white, healthy roots. I do wanna go back to tea for a safety net.
